BCCI president Sourav Ganguly tests positive for Covid-19, admitted to hospital

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has been admitted to a city hospital after testing positive for COVID-19, the cricket board sources said on Tuesday.

The 49-year-old was rushed to a hospital late on Monday night as a precautionary measure after his RT-PCR test returned positive.

“He was taken to Woodlands Nursing Home last night. He has been given medication and is currently stable,” a BCCI source, who is keeping track of Ganguly’s health, told PTI.

Sourav Ganguly is double vaccinated and has been traveling extensively, taking part in all professional activities.

Earlier this year, the 49-year-old cricketer was admitted to the hospital twice and underwent emergency angioplasty after having some cardiac issues.

His elder brother Snehasish Ganguly had also tested positive for coronavirus early this year.
